Ensure that BPF static linker preserves all DATASEC BTF types, even if some of
them might not have any variable information at all. This may happen if the
compiler promotes local initialized variable contents into .rodata section and
there are no global or static functions in the program.
For example,
$ cat t.c
struct t { char a; char b; char c; };
void bar(struct t*);
void find() {
struct t tmp = {1, 2, 3};
bar(&tmp);
}
$ clang -target bpf -O2 -g -S t.c
.long 104 # BTF_KIND_DATASEC(id = 8)
.long 251658240 # 0xf000000
.long 0
.ascii ".rodata" # string offset=104
$ clang -target bpf -O2 -g -c t.c
$ readelf -S t.o | grep data

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
